Switzerland his recently enacted two
laws, the operation OF which will be
watched with the keenest interest all
over the world. ORe is graduated taxa
ton. This applies to incomes. Mere
labOrers, and those who make a bare
living. are not taxed at all; but the
larger the income, the heavier the tax.
Thus, a man In receipt OF $4,000 per
annum pays relatively more than one
whose yearly earnings are So, 900 or less
The object OF the law is to discourage
large accommodations Of property. In
deed, it Is a punishment for a man to be
richer than his fellows. In our country,
the rich who do not own real estate are
practically exempt from all taxation.
Personal property escapes nearly all exac-
tons. The average wOrkingman, through
the operation OF the tariff, pays almost
as much to the government as does Jay
Gould or any OF the VaDderbilts. The
same Mr.. Gould is supposed to be worth
$3.50, 100000, OF which, perhaps, $780,
600 is in real estate. But the latter is
taxed far more heavily than all the rest
Of his vast personal property, which is
IN bonds and stocks. In Switzerland
Jay Gould would be forced to pay an
enormous sum annually, because Of his
vast mass Of personal property, which is
entirely untaxed In the United States.
But it is yet doubtful if the era luated
income tax viii work well IN Switzer-
land. Every rich, enterprising man, and
large employers Of labor pronounce it
unjust. they say they cannot, or will
not, conduct large enterprises, if they
are to be punished for their public spirit
or business ambition. This graduated
tax is a very favorite one with the so
called labor Ieformers, and it has been
Endorsed by very high authorities.
Joseph Chamberlain, the radical member
OF the English parliament, who, his
friends claim, may vet be prime minister,
favOrs a gradual income tax In Great
Britain. Prince Bismarck has given a
qualified assent to the theory that the
rich should give relatively more than
the poor to the support of the state.

United States Ahsad--The Famous
Buckeye" Wine a Great
Victory

All patriotic citizens will Join with
Messrs. Aultman, Miller s. Co., Of Ak
ron Ohio, in general congratulations over
the big victory which their Light Draft
Buckeye Folding Binder gained at
Shepparton, Victoria. Dec. IA, 1886, over
various competitors, by which the great
national gold medal was won. The fol
lowing article taken from the Melbourne
Argus OF Dec. 16 last, tells how it was
done:
The Argus says: ''The field trial reap
ers and binders n connection with the
National Show ct Shepparton was held
on Tuesday, the 18th instant, on Mr..
Guthrie's farm. about two miles from
SheppartOn. Owing to the pressure of
harvest work, crops in all directions
being ripe, the attendance of farmers did
not exceed $50, but great interest was
taken in the proceedings. As at the late
show, the judges placed the HOrnsby
machine first Mccormick second and the
Woods third; the Buckeye" represent
alive disliked being left out in the cold.
and demanded field trial as provided by
the rules, the Mccormick also sharing in
the protest; so the prizes were held over
pending the field trial. The crop was
ripe wheat, and the land was so rough
very low cutting, and the jolting over
the hard clOds was tOlerably severe on
horses. machines and drivers. Two
o. clock was the hour fixed for the
trial. but as the Buckeye" was
the only machine then ready, a
delay was caused by the HOrnsby and
Mccormick experts giving their machines
preliminary run in the adjoining block
of crop, and start was not made until a
quarter past three. The five judges gave
great attention to their duties, and were
ably seconded by the subcommittee ap-
pointed by the society and the secretary,
Mr. Harold B. Turnkey. About two acres
were allotted to each machine, and they
finished in the following order: Buck
eye," III. 10 min; Hornsby, III. 10 min
Mccormick, III. 20 min. The two latter
machines were drawn by three horses
each, while two lighter horses worked
the Buckeye binder with equal ease.
The decision of the judges was based on
the following scale of points:

Philadelphia Correspondence.
The top notch in luxurious dining in
the Quaker City was reached a night or
two ago when a gentleman entertained
five others at what was called a Grecian
dinner at the BELLEVUE. The repast fol-
lowed as nearly as could be permitted a
feast in the most luxurious period Of
Athens. The table was chastely but
very handsomely decorated. The center
ornament was a lyric with golded strings,
upon which, however, none Of the com
paay attempted to play. The guests
sat in great easy chairs covered with
rugs and soft skins. Couches covered
with sIins were placed at intervals
throughout the room. Each guest wore
a wreath Of laurel tied with purple rib
bon. The menu was written in Greek
and prepared by a celebrated classic
scholar. Among the dishes were roast
kid and hare. At the middle Of the din
ner there was an interval of half an hour
in order that the satisfied appetite might
have az opportunity to recover some of
it's vigor. During the intermission
the guests threw themselves on the
couches, and burning oriental drinks
were served in silver tankards.

Psople and Prince.

London Truth
It was only at the last moment that
the prince of Wales decided to visit
Edinburgh on his way south, all arrange
ments had to be made In q hurry. The
prince requested-mOst unreasOnably
under the circdmstances-tha the public
might be excluded from the exhibition
while his party was in it, which simply
meant closing In till 3 o'clock on Thurs
day afternoon. This utterly unjustitia-
bic demand received the ready assent OF
the obsequious committee, which did not
care a rap about the great disaPPolnt-
msnt and inconvenience which would
thereby be occassioned to the "day ex-
eursiOnists who are now visiting Edln-
burgh in swarms for the purpose Of go
ing to the exhibition. When the queen
came to Edinburgh weeks notice was
given Of the temporary closing OF the ex-
hibitiOn, but on this occasion there was
no such consideration for the public. No
fewer than i've thousand excursionists
came from Dundee (it being a holiday
there), having paid for admittance when
they took their railway tickets; but on
reaching the exhibition they found that
there could be no admIttance till the
royalties had left; so they lost three
fo1rths Of their day and they and nearly
as many fellOw-suferers from other
places) can not be blamed for m
ing their feeling by loudly hissanifest-
hOoting and ''bOOing" as the priing and
princess drove away. This hostile de-
monstration, by the way, was carefully
suppressed by the sycOPhantic daily pa
pers.

IndIana,s 80 -.

Indianapolis JOuEnEl-
Among the $50 delegates to the
fifteenth annual meeting Of the Indiana
Shorthom Breeders association who
assembled IN the rooms of the state board
Of agriculture sat one WOMAN, Ms. Gen.
81. @. Meredith, Of Cambridge CITY, and
the owner OF hefinest herd Of shoFthorn
cattle in the state. She breeds and
sells large number Of fine cattle every
year. She can stand up alongside the
Oldest and most experienced cattle
breeders and discuss the constitutional
breeding and pedigFes Of any variety Of
animals. No man in the convention
knows any more about breeding cattle
then does she. When her husband was
alive he was owe OF the most successful
breeders IN the country, and WIS very
fasddlOus IN his tastes In regard to the
animals constituting his herds. But In
1875 he became bankrupt, and soon
sfterWard died. Mrs. Meredith then
took up her husbands business, which
she prosecuted with more energy and
success than he did. One OF her sales,
which occurred more than a year ago,
was the most successful in the country
with one exception. Her herd Of forty
renders her a handsome annuity. In
1885 she read a paper upon her ezper-
fences before the national convention of
sbOrthorn breeders, which was printed
everywhere, and WaE more quoted than
any Of the other addresses delivered at
the same time. She is, verify, a queen
among her kind.

Lewiston CAIe.) Journal.
During recess from business in the
Maine executive council the other day,
Councillor Warren told story about a
justice OF the peace in Hancock county
before whom a culprit was arranged for
Drunkenness and disturbance.
A trial was an unusual occurrence in
the little village, and a large crowd came
to hear it. The justice, a heavy-gaited
and thick-skulled old fellow, desired to
make profound impression. After he
heard the case he arose and, holding q
copy OF the revised statutes before him,
and PeeEing over his spectacles at the
trembling respondent, delivered himself
as follows:
'COnsidering the importance Of this
case and the enOrmity of the Ofiense
with which you are charged (ahemI) the
court fines you 81 and costs--and may
God have mercy on your soulP'
This reminded Councillor Lord of q
story about a justice OF the peace In
Cumberland county, who had a similar
case
prisoner at the bar, be you guilty or
not guilty % he asked.
Guilty" said the respondent.
'Gentlemen," said the justice, 1--WE
viii now go on with the caseP'
The inference was that the justice de-
sired to prove whether the man lied or
not.

Why, anybody ought to know that its
the short haul that costs the most. You
see I am sitting in a railway parlor car
down in Maine writing a postal card to
a friend In Oregon Now, if I can get
that card to the mail car, only seven car

That is the long haul But it costs me a
quarter to get the porter to carry it to
the postal car. That's the short haul.
Then the porter loses it on his way or
forgets all about it. That's the shrink

transportation problem in a nutshell.
